This is an awesome find! I agree this could very well be 'our' Q, however, I do beg to differ with you on the amount of IamQ's submission count. If you look at his profile overview and scroll down to the bottom, in the middle of three lowest rated comments, you'll see a post asking users to decode a cryptic Linkin Park video. It clearly says posted by IamQ to pizzagate. However, if you go to the actual post it says submitted by [deleted], (and also is nowhere on his submission page, just the Overview page).

Why did he delete this post (and were there others that were deleted), and leave the rest? Any way to know when the deletion occurred? Post was on 7/26/2017 (which would make THIS his actual last post, almost three months to the day, 10/28/2017, of what is believed to be Q's first post on 4chan), was never edited and archived on 10/24/2017 (four days before 4chan post). Thought this was interesting relative to what happened to Chester on 7/20/2017, not to mention the possible Podesta paternity.

On another note, I remember lurking when the swordfish stuff was posted, probably even saw This post and This one and I always wondered if anything came of it. Maybe we should be looking for swordfish to be wearing green socks at the Grammy's? 😃

Why did he delete this post (and were there others that were deleted), and leave the rest?

He didn't delete it, one of the mods must have deleted it, because it didn't adhere to the rules. If a submitter self-deletes, it always says 'deleted by author'.

If a mod deletes, it only says 'deleted'.

You can go back in the deleted submissions log 1.4 years (that would be about 15 months), and look for yourself .

The log of deleted submissions is in the sidebar.

I think it only goes back 19 pages to save server space.

Thank you for that info bit. I'm guessing it was deleted for being a link post? Why didn't it show as deleted on the profile overview page? If people smarter than me can get to the bottom of it, looks like they need to hurry as the Linkin video post was 1.4 years ago and from what you say, the delete record will be gone soon.

Thank you for that info bit.

You're welcome.

Why didn't it show as deleted on the profile overview page?

It never does. But when you use searchvoat.co, you can find deleted posts by a specific author.

and from what you say, the delete record will be gone soon

No, it won't go.

Awesome sauce, pun intended! You said you could go back in the deleted submission logs 1.4 years, where does it go after 1.4 years? I guess I assumed it gets bumped off, like on 8chan (now there's a crazy place!) unless it's archived by someone. Also, are voat submissions auto-archived at three months? I also have to learn to do that quote a few lines of a comment in a box thing, someday! I appreciate your taking the time explaining some of the intricasies of voat to me.

Ah, now I understand. The submission was posted 1.4 years ago, right? When it was deleted by the mods, they will have done it on the first or second day after it was posted, that why I suggested to go back 1.4 years.

Otherwise, you can go back in the deleted submissions log more than 2 years, in comprises all submissions that were ever deleted on v/pizzagate. ;-)

Also, are voat submissions auto-archived at three months?

Yes.

I also have to learn to do that quote a few lines of a comment in a box thing, someday!

That's very easy: Just put a > in front of each line you want to quote.

I appreciate your taking the time explaining some of the intricasies of voat to me.

You're kindly welcome. Please feel free to ask more if I can help. :-)
